Warhammer 40K Forum

Okay this is a list I am in the process of writing for a upcomming tournament, it is incomplete and I could use your help in finishing it.
The crisis suits (incl the commander) are for termie hunting
The kroot protect the broadsides, I think the rest of what this army does is fairly obvious.

I&#39;m not looking for purticular units I need, I would like you to point out what the force lacks, E.G. anti MEQ power. (note I am considering a unit of Vespid, I would like to know your opinion on them)

Also a Shas&#39;vre with a HWMT and shield gen would do wonders for your XV8 unit. They&#39;ll get a lot of fire, especially with the fusion blaster since they have to get pretty close to use it. You could swap it with the missile pod for the same points in games depending on the amount of tanks and whatnot.

Unless it&#39;s me, i don&#39;t see any markerlights, the godsent equipment which my army relies on, try to get some into your FW squads- IMHO, Drop the flechette dischargers and the multi-tracker from the D-Fish(you won&#39;t need this on a vehicle-&#39;less it&#39;s an Skyray or Railhead), second, turn the O into an &#39;EL an idea which saved (points)me thanks to Boneguard, oh yes, before i forget, give the &#39;El a targeting array. for your broadside, why a Shas&#39;vre? make him a team leader, you get the same stuff, those points could be used elsewhere.
RMB! Markerlights are your friend! The more the merrier!
Just my $0.02

I never said to get Pathfinders, just get your firewarrior team-leaders to hold Markerlights and a Target Lock(use the leader to light up targets). Hmm...Marker drones eh? I didn&#39;t think of that, good idea i suppose, I&#39;ve never tried Marker Drones to be honest, but i think they should do the job, plus they should give you an extra wound ;D

Army list threads are not really the place to get into that sort of discussion. Please try to keep comments focused on the list under consideration.

But do you have enough scoring units in this army, I wonder? Depending on what the objectives are, that seems like a vulnerability. Kroot are very easy to drive off of an objective, and Fire Warriors can&#39;t really assault to push an enemy off of one. It seems like another Troop selection might be a good idea.

well the minimum for a 2000 pt game should be 5 troops anyway, but if you know your going to have forests, then kroot are a very good choice, and very hard to drive off.

Are your Firewarriors really going to stand and defend the Broadsides? Then why buy Devilfishes without MT, TA and SMS for them? Battletaxis without troops to transport. If that is your plan you should probably buy more squads of Firewarriors and/or Kroot and ditch the Devilfishes.

I would really consider buing gun- or shielddrones for your squads of suits. I cannot stress enough how many times they have saved my crisis suits from taking the wound from a lascannon, missile launcher or some such. Just a single gun drone is actually quite awesome for its low cost. I would really look into that.

And as a general tip: Don&#39;t think so much about AP when considering "anti-MEQ". Anti-TEQ will need some dedicated firepower, which you have covered, but with regards to regular MEQ&#39;s I would rather go for volume of fire in your list. That will take care of both marines and lesser protected foes and is better in an all-comers environment such as a tournament.

just to clarify, there is only one unit of stationary FW&#39;s the other two go with the suits and tanks to kill things.

I have made some changes to the list, I now have no spare points a unit of 3 deathrains and two shield drones on my helios suits... but still only three units of fire warriors, thing is I can&#39;t really find anything I would want to drop for more of &#39;em.
